Do (ADHD) meds make anyone else struggle with socialising? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

It seems that for me whenever the meds "kick in" I can't really mask properly anymore which causes undesired social issues with some friends (especially in an outdoor setting like this meme implies). Wondering how many others experience this, and does anyone know why this happens? I haven't found any good reading on it and the psychs I mention it to just dismiss it.

It could be a dosage thing for me, because I sometimes get that introvert -> extrovert effect, but more often than not is makes me somewhat trapped in my head where I can't really figure out how to talk to people.

A place for those that got both Autism and ADHD, those confirmed as one and are suspecting they got the other as well, and also everyone who is neither and just genuinely curious.

Since the combo comes with its own set of challenges, this shall be a place to ask for advice, vent, infodump about special interests and/or just vibe and meme.
